Harare October 04, 2017. Impact Hub Harare is excited to be hosting the second edition of the global start-up competition, Seedstars World. Seedstars World is back in Harare to find the most promising early stage start-up in Zimbabwe!

Early stage start-ups (less than 2 years) will have the opportunity to compete for up to $1,000,000 worth of equity investment. On October 27th high potential entrepreneurs with brilliant start-up ideas will be invited to pitch in front of an investment panel and compete to be crowned the most promising seed-stage start-up innovation of Seedstars World Harare 2017

The winning startup will join the global Seedstars Family and take part in the regional and global Seedstars Summits that include a tried and tested bootcamp and investor forum. It’s a catalytic platform for high growth emerging market start-ups.

Participants can look forward to an event filled with disruptive tech, inspirational discussions, networking sessions and one flight ticket for the winner to go to Switzerland to compete for over $1million in investment.

Here are a few words from Dr Cadx last year’s local Seedstars winner and finalist in Switzerland:
“We engaged with lots of start-ups from Africa and other emerging countries who are using technology to create solutions to solve problems in our context. These range from healthcare, logistics, education, entertainment, transportation, connectivity, etc. Provided the entrepreneurship environment continues to be improved through constructive support from all stakeholders including the entrepreneurs, government, investors and corporates, we will see a strong tech economy in Africa.”

Good luck to Zimbabwe’s innovators and creatives, make it happen!
